Question

Soils, fertilizers, and pesticides erode and are transported by surrounding waterways to a different location. Which of the following is where they will most likely end up? A) They will be found on a faraway beach. B) They will be carried by a river and then deposited in the delta area. C) They will be found in mountainous regions. D) They will become airborne and travel with the wind around the Earth.

Answer 1

The soil, fertilizers, and pesticides eroded by the surrounding waterways are transported via the water to a location different from their former one. These are taken away by the water flow and deposited in the delta area of the river. This delta is a land-form which is formed by the deposition of the similar substances, where the flow of the river is slower.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B'.
